ABSOLUTELY STYLISH (c, 3, Uncle Mo–Circumstance, by Vindication), six months removed from a distant fourth-place effort behind 'TDN Rising Star' Mastery (Candy Ride {Arg}), had to burn plenty of gas to get to the front, then was forced to set the pace from out wide for the opening half-mile. But he proved a stubborn rival in the lane despite the lengthy absence and held off favored Honor and Courage (Unbridled's Song) to graduate by a neck Saturday at Santa Anita. A $110,000 Keeneland November weanling, Absolutely Stylish made $65,000 as a Keeneland September yearling, but improved into a $285,000 Barretts March 2-Year-Old purchase. Out of a half-sister to SW & GSP Tres Coronas (Chief's Crown), Absolutely Stylish is kin to a 2-year-old Tiznow filly who fetched $295,000 from Dominic Brennan on behalf of Highland Yard at last year's Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale. Circumstance is the dam of a yearling filly by Midnight Lute and was most recently bred to Super Saver. Sales history: $110,000 Wlg '14 KEENOV; $65,000 Ylg '15 KEESEP; $285,000 2yo '16 BARMAR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $35,520. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
